They were less effective in protecting against supra-physiological bacterial challenge (in.

The temporal expression of AISPI was measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR after injury or bacterial challenge.

Within 5 d of bacterial challenge, apoptosis declined in the wild-type animals yet remained significantly higher in the diabetic group.

Furthermore, this may represent a more general mechanism by which bacterial challenge induces apoptosis of matrix-producing cells through the induction of TNF.

These results indicated that AiBD could be induced by bacterial challenge, and it should participate in the immune responses of A. irradians.

Because diabetics have a higher incidence and more severe periodontitis, we examined mechanisms by which diabetes alters the response of bone to bacterial challenge.

It is suggested that the MOS-induced changes on gut morphology and the reduced excreta pH reflect a reduced bacterial challenge in the intestine of pigeons.

Without bacterial challenge, levels of CFH, NTBI, and PLI were significantly higher with older versus fresher blood transfusion but there was no significant measurable injury.

The HP14 mRNA exists in fat body and hemocytes of the naive larvae, and its level increases significantly at 24 h after a bacterial challenge.

The expression pattern of CFLec-1 transcripts in healthy and bacterial challenged scallops was studied by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.

At various bacterial challenges from 0.5 to 65 bacteria per neutrophil, the CHS cells killed normal numbers of bacteria in 60 minutes.
